We’ve been hearing about The Local’s new Annex for some time and we’re happy to announce that it is officially open! Last night Tap Trail stopped by for a tour and some pints. The Annex will eventually house the Bellingham Beer Lab, Washington State’s first non-profit brewery.

The Annex is located right next door to The Local on Railroad Avenue @ 1425 Railroad Ave. and is 21+.

This place looks awesome and they have Shuffleboard! Who doesn’t LOVE shuffleboard!? Not to mention, two pool tables and darts. They also have TVs for all those sports fans. The Annex allows you to buy a Reuben over at The Local then walk right over to the Annex for some pool. Eventually, some of the taps at the Annex will be designated just for BBL beers. The BBL will be located in the back of the Annex and allow select homebrewers to brew commercially in 31 gallon batches, or 1 barrel.
